As some of you are well aware, a group of 27 students and 3 staff are off to Japan in just two and a half more sleeps… We are meeting bright and early on the Sunday morning to set off on our adventure. The 12 day tour will take us to Tokyo shopping districts Harajuku and Shibuya as well as Tokyo Disneyland. Following this we will stay for 5 nights at a culture centre in Hiroshima and take part in various excursions and activities. Our trip ends in Kyoto with visits to the Golden Temple and Kiyomizu Dera as well as a bit of karaoke and of course shopping.
TANOSHIMI NI SHITEIMASU! Can’t wait! 🙂

hey… how would i find the テ post code thing for sending letters to japan? i want to sent a letter to ãŠæ¯ã•ã‚“ from homestay. i have the rest o the adress on the info sheet we got.
Go to this website: http://yubin.senmon.net/en/
Then click on Hiroshima, then choose Higashi Hiroshima or wherever she lives….
Hope it helps and is correct. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
You have to click on the postcode for Higashi-HIroshima I think and then find the smaller town…. Maybe photocopyyour letter first incase it doesn’t get there…… ;p
thankyou, and メリー　クリスマスï¼ï¼ï¼
It has occured to me that I do not know the group 3 verb conjugation.
For example how would you change shimasu?
Thanks
shimasu-shimashita (past) – shimasen (neg) – shimasen deshita (neg past) – shimashou (let’s do)
suru (casual) – shita (past) – shinai (Negative) – shinakatta (neg past) –
shite is te form both polite and casual
thankyou very much.
Now I hope I remember this
i just wrote all this down…. and then i accedently hit the x on the tab…. ã°ã‹ï¼ï¼ï¼ï¼ï¼ï¼
though, please feel free to post this on face book on the ghs japanese group to spread my evil.
ã”ã‚ãªã•ã„。書ãã„ã¦ã¿ã¾ã™ã€‚
ok to start off i have a question. first when saing why do you use the canji or what 何㧠or ãªã‚“ã§?
Secondly through my mission to study all night, i have ound a few videos (that i have to find again) that i find strange or annoying… and at the same side sort of helpful, and as i dont have facebook to spread my evil mits, to stop me from getting poked by all my fans… and soon to be haters. i have decided to post such my evil acheivement here
here it begins.
i started with ãªãŒã‚‰ and found only this its not very good but someone might find it helpful… maybe
then I found this… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgiBsc613i8 this is a lovly song that will have you dancing around the kitchen in madness… but it is the question words
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iEJuwd9oZk -some little thing on numbers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=d5krO9Xm9UU – this is interesting… if u want something to say in a speaking test… but its telling me that i say ãˆãˆã£ã¨ wrong 😦
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZaZ0y77Kh4&feature=related i ur blood type A this might be
ãŠã‚‚ã—ã‚ã„
ãŠã‚‚ã—ã‚ã„ verb stuff – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIpt-na_ZhY&feature=related

Is the plain negative form of “hanasu”, “hanashita?” and does it mean didn’t speak
Plain negative form of hanasu is hanasanai….. which means I don’t/won’t speak. Eg: nihongo wo hanasanai = I don’t speak Japanese.
hanasanakatta means I didn’t speak….
thankyou, was also wondering how to change group three verbs to the plain negative form…i dont seem to have it in my book.
And what 出㙠meant and what the kanji stood for as well as 見ãˆã‚‹ because I don’t recall it at all.. unless it has something to do with watching, looking or showing….
Group 3 There is no rule for these you just need to learn
Shimasu – suru (To do) – shinai (don’t/won’t do) – shinakatta (didn’t do)
Kimasu – kuru (to come) – konai (don’t/won’t come) – konakatta (didn’t come)
出ã™ï¼ã ã™ï¼to hand out (eg hand out homework)
見ãˆã‚‹ï¼ã¿ãˆã‚‹ able to see/visible
is “hana” story and when talking about our favourite anime as a child is it “toki”?
Was also wondering if we were allowed to have english notes.
hanashi = story. And kodomo no toki yes.
English notes are fine as long as you just glance occasionally

Thank you and was wondering about the monty got a raw deal sentence….
haha. I’ve had that signature since 2000. I was a big R.E.M fan in the 90s and my fave album ‘Automatic for the People’ has those two songs on it, ‘Monty got a raw deal’ and ‘Sweetness Follows’. I thought they went well together. 🙂

Oh.. it’s just never appeared before now.
I’m just finishing the illustrations for my manga now and then maybe i’ll colour it. I think it looks alright and I hope the main character looks the same. Oh well, I’m not the best artist and the sentences are more important anyway.
was also checking when it is due… tomorrow, thursday or friday?
Friday 🙂

Didn’t know where to post this so i’ll post it twice. Here and on the About page.
I was wondering how you would say “first day of school” and if it is any different to “it’s my first day of school.”
Is first 一ã˜ã‹ã‚“ã‚ or is that only for first period? O course I know å¦æ ¡ is school but I don’t know how to put it all into the sentence. Thanks to anyone who can help me.
First day at school = Gakkoo de no saisho no hi….  🙂
